DO NOT APPLY ANYTHING (PIPE DOPE, PLUMBERS PASTE, TEFLON TAPE, ETC.) TO
THE THREADS ON THE CONTROL HEAD OR THE RESIN TANK!
Ensure the riser tube slips inside the pilot opening in the bottom of the head. Screw the
head down onto the resin tank until solid contact is made between the tank and O-
ring, then tighten about another 1/4–1/3 of a turn and STOP. Do not over tighten the
control head as this can cause damage. Once properly tightened down check to
ensure the tank and control head meet evenly all the way around.

having a hard time fitting your hand between the float and the brine well to secure the
overflow nut you can remove the float by removing the nut that holds the float in
place. Make sure to put it back when you are finished. Please Note: Some systems may
use a compression style float fitting that will look different than the style shown, but
will function the same way.
4.2—Use 3/8 inch line to connect brine tank to control head
The brine line will connect from the brine fitting on the control head— Img 9 —to the
fitting on the float inside the brine tank. To attach it to the float put the tubing
through the hole in the brine tank and push the tubing into the fitting until in stops,
then push a little harder to get it to lock in place. To remove the tubing, hold the collet
ring that sits around the tubing while pulling the tubing out. The other end of the
tubing will connect to the control head. Place the fittings on the tubing as shown—
Img 10 —and connect it to the control head. Please Note: If your brine tank uses the
compression style fitting it will connect to the brine tank in a manner similar to how it
connects to the control head.
